Ursulita went home to be with our Lord on February 25, 2018. She was born on March 26, 1922 in Wagon Mound, New Mexico to Jose and Felicita DeHerrera. In March of 1950, she married the love of her life, PFC Augustine Grano. Together, they built a life and raised a big family in Springer, NM.

Ursulita enjoyed teaching her children and grandchildren about the Roman Catholic faith. She shared her joy with others through her homemade jams, cookies, breads, and tortillas (just to name a few). Ursulita absolutely LOVED to cook and taught many of her grandchildren the art of making her signature recipes.

Ursulita was an active member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Springer where she was an altar society member and distributor of the Miraculous Medal. Ursulita frequented the nursing home and shared her homemade goods with the elderly and provided her loving company.

In her later years, Ursulita moved to Hobbs, NM to be near her children and was a member of St. Helena Catholic Church.
